Strengths and limitations This study had many strengths, a nationally representative US sample, choice of a well-validated measure of global health that includes a physical and mental component 17,35 , testing of the associations between a novel smoking-descriptor (childhood smoking) and poor HRQOL, adjustment for many other aspects of cigarette smoking that also independently relate to HRQOL, and a sensitivity analysis that appropriately considers smoking-related disease measures as mediators rather than independent risk factors
Smoking and risk of coronary heart disease in younger, middle-aged, and older adults
Common chest cancer symptoms include severe chest pain, painful coughing, infection in the lungs, and complete exhaustion
This ultimately has negative effects on the body because the smoke is being drawn deeper into the lungs
Includes spaces for how the smoker felt and circumstances when tempted to smoke a cigarette
